Guys,

I have to make some choices on the Super Snake and I really don't know the difference on the following;

1. FRPP adj. Damper or Shelby/Eibach adj. ?

2. 725hp Kenny Bell JBA 3" or Borla (after Cats) ?

3. What do you guys think about window scoops or Block-off plates?

(My car is black) if that makes a difference?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Jim

Shelby, Borla, block off plates. If you look for Samthe Jeepman's pictures, he has a picture of his Shelby with the block offs.

The folks that hang in the SS forum over at stangsunleased can probably answer most of your questions.

Yes, I have already posted there and did not get much help. I think the guys on this forum are much more informed about such things, right DBK:wink

Do you think it makes a difference with Borla after Cats?

Yes, my buddy has an '07 vert with the Borla's. Very civilized but loud when you need it.

actually i did have a set of block off plates(made by saleen) on my gt500 and they looked great
i put a set of side louvers on the car and the block off plates did not look good with them, so i got a set of scoop type and installed them over the block off plates
everyone that has seen the car has said this is the way shelby should have sold it from the factory !!!

ps--tried the borla--too much interior drone--went with the corsa--very mild inside and awesome at the right rpm's

Sam,

Look Great, I got to come see you and hear that car. Here is mine, I just put in the Ford GT cams, Kook LT Headers, FR Exhaust, FR Short shifter, JDM Pulley & Tune, and the FR CAI kit, The car is loud with monsterous power with about 675-700 Bhp. I also have Shelby 20 Razor wheels with side scoops and quarter panel scoops. I also put in the Ford Racing Handling pack and lowered the car by 1.5 inches.

as usual mg, i would not expect anything less from you
looks awesome, can't wait to see and hear it.
really don't want to do too many proformance up-grades to the 500, want to keep it stock and be able to take off all the add-on's if need be.
hopefully by spring time, i will have the new saleen red/white 550 in the garage(plus the new challenger hemi). the new saleen 550 will be all the performance i will need from a mustang--lol

ciao for now

I believe they made changes to the mods. The Shelby/Eibach suspension is for the 700+ and the Ford racing suspension is on the 600hp car. Maybe the Shelby/Eibach is still an option for the 600hp car. The borla exhaust is now on both. Take a look at the the update

I like the block off plates.

Love the scoops! That's getting added to my SS order for sure. Thanks:thumbsup
